    For sheer excitement, it would be hard to top Marciano v Dempsey, or Tyson v 70's Foreman.

    mm Louis Ali is the real one for all time. the two best going head to head.


    but tyson ali catches the imagination better, its more visceral, photogenic, more Iron Man that suits todays penchant for visual charisma than Louis, the Captain America of the boxing world.

    Right now i would be intriged how Vitali and Wlad would go. If we could somehow wipe the memories of them being brothers out of their memory, then we would see a beastly matchup.

    Vitali's superior agression and full on attack on Wlad's superior boxing technique. Could Vitali get to Wlad's chin before Wlad stops or UDs Vitali?
